Third chapter.

---------------------------------------------------

Neji followed the smaller boy silently down the stairs as they both headed to their next class. Neither one of them spoke as they both walked side by side. Neji, however was starting to feel irritated with the complete silence that the boy was emitting. It almost felt like Gaara was ignoring him as they both headed towards their physics class and Neji was a Hyuuga. Nobody ignored a Hyuuga! Irritated and angry, Neji simply followed Gaara to their class, pissed off that he was feeling so helpless. Since when did a Hyuuga take directions from a kid with homicidal eyes?

Neji was thankful once they arrived at their class and without a word of thanks to Gaara, he introduced himself to his teacher and took a seat and the back of the class. He scarcely heard a few murmurs of the "new kid" as he took his seat and to be truthful, he couldn't give a shit at this moment. Something had bothered him. Neji wasn't too sure what it was. It couldn't have been Gaara's fault was it? Neji dismissed the thought immediately. He just decided that he didn't like feeling like a follower. He was a leader. A captain and peoplefollowed him.

-----------------------------------------

Class was boring as expected and Neji was glad that he had a free period next, though he wasn't too sure what he wanted to do with that time. If he had lived closer he would have gone home and practised his martial arts in which in specialised in ninjitsu. It was his way of releasing his anger and it allowed him to gain a certain level of level headedness that other sports couldn't provide.

So Neji did the only thing that he could think of at that moment, he walked out of the school building and sat on the grass underneath a sakura tree. He sighed and leaned into the tree and closed his eyes. Everything seemed peaceful. Nothing seemed to bother him at this moment. It was at one of these rare moments that Neji could truly feel at ease but of course something bad just had to interrupt his peaceful sanctuary. Neji shuddered as images of Naruto and that dog boy came waltzing into his mind. To say that he was freaked out this morning was an understatement. He was bloody scared! Neji had never been one to approve of homosexual couples as the idea just brought dread and fear into his mind. He didn't mind lesbians so much. In fact he rather enjoyed watching two females caressing each other. It was a fantasy that all boys held but gay men were simply out of the question. Gay couples were a strict taboo, especially within the Hyuuga clan and Neji thought mentally that he would probably be disowned if he ever became gay. Luckily that would never happen.

A shadow formed from under Neji's eyelids and he lazily opened his eyes to see that green eyes were directly staring at him.

"Gaara" Neji greeted.

Gaara said nothing. He only sat beside Neji and watched the other students play football (soccer. I live in the UK so please bear with my English terms!) at the courtyard.

Neji followed his gaze at the students playing soccer and a bright blonde caught his attention. Neji stared in disbelief. It was Naruto. Naruto was playing football with his friends and the bog boy that he recognised earlier. Neji groaned inside, he hoped to god that neither one of them would come and approach him. He was not in the mood to be molested by homosexual teens.

Gaara looked at Neji from the corner of his eyes, wondering whether or not he should say something. He wasn't too sure why he came down and sat beside him but Gaara presumed that he merely did this out of pity's sake. He remembered the first time he arrived in Konoha High School and how the school students treated him. It had been harsh that day and people simply looked at him as if he were some kind of psychopath. They all had heard stories of Gaara and how he was somehow connected to the Desert Mafia and the rumours simply fuelled their hatred for him. Personally, Gaara couldn't have cared less. He had already decided that after graduating school he would make sure that every single student died a horrible death. He was certain of that. Afterall, they didn't call him Garra of the Desert for nothing.

"Hey, you got a problem with homosexuals?" Gaara asked bluntly.

"What?"

Gaara stared at him.

"Okay so I have issues" Neji admitted. "Why?" he asked, "you're not gay are you?" he accused whilst narrowing his eyes.

"Would it matter?"

"Yes"

An awkward silence hung over between the two boys. Then Gaara smirked.

"You're in luck. I'm not"

Neji sighed in relief but he was still sceptical. The silence had been too awkward and too long. I'll have to watch my back if I'm with him he thought, just to be sure.

"Why are you against homosexuality anyway?" Gaara suddenly demanded, his voice cold.

"None of your damn business" Neji replied coldly.

"Just answer my question Hyuuga"

Neji glared at him, "What's with you?" he demanded, "why are you acting so.." Neji tried to find the right word, "so queer" he empathised.

Gaara chose to ignore him.

Neji felt tension between him and Gaara. He didn't understand Gaara's outburst and he couldn't give a shit about it. He was starting to wonder whether or not befriending Gaara was a great idea after all.

"I gotta go" he said and stood up. He didn't expect to hear an answer from Gaara and he was right. Gaara didn't even acknowledge him as he left.

Neji walked briskly until he found himself at the edge of a forest that separated Konoha High from the main busy roads. He was about to leave until he heard a noise. Letting his curiosity getting the better of him, he followed the direction of the noise.

There in the middle of the forest, Neji saw a young girl with determined eyes sparring against what seemed like a wooden doll. Neji saw trickles of sweat on her forehead and noticed that the girl was wearing her hair in two buns.

The girl turned round when she recognised another presence. Standing infront of her was a young man leaning against a tree with his arms folded. He was holding a smirk of arrogance and the girl couldn't help notice that the boy had a lean body and startlingly pale eyes.

"What do you want?" the girl demanded.

"Nothing"

"Then what the hell are you doing here?" the girl demanded again.

"Just watching you practise. Ninjitsu wasn't it?" Neji asked casually as he toyed with his words. Apparently he hit some sort of button as the girl's head quickly perked up.

"You like ninjitsu?" the girl asked eagerly.

Neji nodded his head.

"Great!" the girl exclaimed. Neji smirked at her sudden change of attitude.

"I'm Tenten" the girl introduced herself, "You're my new best friend now" she proclaimed and gave Neji a sudden hug.

Unknowns to the two students, this little scenario was being watched with fury hidden underneath green eyes. This girl is definitely going to die first Gaara thought to himself.
